I am sure that Teniesh Pinnix will learn a lesson to never leave a van unlocked again after she did witness a bear that was in a rental cabin in Gatlinburg area earlier this week when a bear who was wandering in the woods saw his chance to help himself to a snack. The bear managed to enter an unlocked that belonged to her and her relatives as the bear managed to steal a bag of popcorn before running away back to his home since Teniesh who was with her family on vacation from North Carolina was not going to try and retrieve the stolen popcorn since the encounter with a bear would be fatal. Teniesh as well as her relatives did not know that bears are in the area where she and her relatives were spending their vacation in a rental cabin. Since winter is about one month away, bears are going to be invading houses and vans since they are getting ready to take their winter nap.

There are bears all over that mountain, people should be aware of the danger.

I have noticed that bears call the mountains their home.

@Deepizzaguy Yes, as long as they can find mountains and wide open spaces.

@RubyHawk That is true since open areas are their home.

I have heard something about Gatlinburg being the home of many country and western artists.

@Deepizzaguy There are actually more artists from here in the Nashville area. Dolly Parton has her theme park there called Dollywood, about five miles away in Pigeon Forge, TN.

@CarolDM I did not know that Gatlinburg is the home of many artists than Nashville.

Nobody can resist the fragrant smell of popcorn, not even a bear it seems!

Bears despite being animals like the smell and taste of popcorn like humans.

I agree with you that the bears as well as the humans were not hurt in the incident.
